Funding will be used for the development of the Core software and getting it toward an official beta launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manticore is a San Manteo, California-based gaming startup, which provides software that enables users to quickly build high-resolution multi-player desktop games and share it on the Core’s platform. The company was established by industry veterans from Electronic Arts, Blizzard, Respawn, Xfire, Roblox, Trion Worlds, Crystal Dynamics and Zynga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a new type of platform, where you have players congregating to create worlds together, to create a new form of entertainment. It’s a drastic departure from the traditional way games are made. <\/p> Frederic Descamps, Manticore Games CEO<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The Core itself is built with Epic’s Unreal Engine and now Manticore announces it has raised $15 million in a new round of funding, led by Epic Games. The main goal is to create the universe of user-created virtual worlds that are all interconnected on the Core’s platform. Manticore’s system is pretty similar to Roblox with that difference Core is a place to build games for teens and adults, with all the blood, cruelty and adventure storylines that typically go into those titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manticore previously closed a $15 million Series A round led by Benchmark Capital in December 2017 and it raised a further $30 million in September 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
